Nelson is no more....

Anyone following the BTO Cuckoo tracking project will have probably have read that 4 of the 18 fitted with transmitters have perished on route to Africa. You may recall that Barnsley Ringing Group sponsored Nelson, a Cuckoo caught in Norfolk, and this bird is one of the 4 and only got as far as the south of France.
A shame it did not complete the full journey but that's the way it goes for a lot of migrants.
